"A breathtaking and cutting edge volume.... this is a
teaching manual, reference manual, research manual, and resource
manual. Readers will find a wealth of background information,
research results, and references, and if they keep reading, they
will also find the products to consider, the dosages, and even the
source of those products. Conventional and alternative, yin and
yang, Eastern and Western, European and American, herbal and
homeopathic, acupuncture and laser, diseases and systems, choices
and recommendations--it's all there." - Journal
of the American Veterinary Medical Association, December
2008

"An in-depth reference recommended for college-level
veterinary library holdings and for practicing vets and clients. It
covers complementary treatment options from Chinese herbal medicine
nad acupuncture to therapeutic nutrition, and takes a systems-based
approach to familiarizing vets with terminology and processes of
these alternative options. From key diseases to behavior issues and
all the common physical problems of animals, a range of detail on
key integrative treatment options from experts in herbal medicine,
acupuncture and therapeutic nutrition provide an essential, key
reference to any studying or working in the veterinary science
field." - Midwest Book Review, November 2008

"There is a dearth of easily found information on alternative
therapies and the authors have produced a book that will prove
useful to those who require a checklist source of alternative
therapies for treating, either primarily or integratively, common
clinical problems seen in small animal practice." -Doody's
